1936 Map of Ethridge

About this map

Ethridge and the surrounding rural landscapes of Lawrence County are documented here during the mid-1930s. The settlement pattern is defined by a dense network of country schools and family churches, such as Union Hill Sch and Shady Grove Ch, which served as the social anchors for this agricultural region. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad runs North-South through the center of the sheet, paralleling the Nashville and Jackson Highway and facilitating the movement of local goods.
